I have been finding water on the floor in my kitchen and utility
areas for the last several mornings.

It has been terribly hot here for the last few weeks and the air
conditioners have been running almost constantly.

Tonight I saw a water stain on the ceiling in the utility room and
water was dripping from the light fixture. The light glove was
filled with water. I think the drain for the condensation is stopped
up and water is spilling unto the ceiling and unto the floor.

I have called the air conditioning company and they will be here in
the morning, but until then I have both my air conditioners turned
off.

Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to unstop the drain in the
attic without the need to go up there.

The overflow pipe is accessible from outside down stairs. Is there
any way I could unplug the stoppage from down on the ground?

Thanks,

My Ac condenser has a hose to the outside, it has clogged, my pan has
a cut off switch should everything clog, you should have a switch put
in and test it every year so you dont spend alot fixing water damage.
Have you looked at it, usualy unclogging a plugged up hose is easy,
this, your filter, a clean AC coil, keeping drains clear and mold free
are things that need regular checking by you, not every year or 2, so
when is the last time the filter was changed and all checked?

Good point about the switch. Perhaps easier is an alarm like one of these:

I got one and it has a switch: Alarm/Music. I tested the "music" setting and
it played Beethoven's Bagatelle in A Minor ("Fur Elise"). Oh well.

Reminds me of the best of Asimov's Lecherous Limericks:

There was a gal from Carolina,
Who placed fiddle strings 'cross her vagina,
With certain sized cocks,
What was sex became Bach's
Toccata and Fugue in D-Minor
